WHERE JET CONES EROm.
Little KBows OF IT'S Cbsraeser-Rsv
Material Dug from the Ground.

81. LOUIS hcpuDittohsi
"Jet is the commonest substance in
Use for personal ornaments, and yet not
one out of one thousand persons knows
where it comes from or what it IS com.
posed Of" said l.. A. Rhodes, OF New
York, in the rotunda of the Lindell last
night GAS to its composition,
however, nothing is really known,
for scientists have endeavored IN
vain 10 analyze IL and settle its origin,
but their experiments have only re-
suited in theories. In its character and
formation il is closely allied to amber,
aud the common belief is that 1t is wood
partly converted into coal, although
there are some who believe 1t TO be a
species Of petroleum. The English jet,
which is tAe most popular, Is dug on the
coast of Yorkshire, near Wbitby and
Scarborough. The trade from Whitby
dates back to the latter part OF the six
teeuth century, aud jet is known to have
been used for ornaments by the early
Britons and their Roman cOnquerors
The price of the raw material IS from
ten to eighteen shillingsa pound. Ii IS
worked altogether by hand. Pieces are
sawed to the proper size, and then the
pattern is scratched upon the jet with a
Sharp pointed instrument. Then the
workman takes knife and commences
to white the piece of jet just as You
might stick Of wood, the material
working easily. With this knife and
with small chisels he works ont
the pattern. after which the piece
is taken 10 grindstone and the
round parts are ground off, Swift
whirling wheels do the polishing, except
where there are deep missions in the
ornament, in which ce' boys finish the
polishing with thin 81 fps of list. Bril-
iancy is given to the ornament by sPrink-
ling on little rouge and polishing
lightly with rubber. jet was once
used almost entirely in the way OF pins,
bracelets. &c, but now the larger par
of the output is made up into dress trim
mings.'

10 The .Editor Of the Dispatch:
You have kindly given the use OF your
columns 70 writers pro and con IN dis
cussing the merits OF the State Medical
Examining Board and the law under
which it was organized and its opera
tons. The question is attracting so
much OF public attention, as well as that
of the profession throughout the State,
[ will ask the space in your valuable
columns to present few thoughts on
this important question from different
standpoint. 1t has occurred to me
that what the public and pro-
fession. and especially our legis-
lators. desire is not so much laudation
ON the one hand or condemnation on the
other as a plain statement of the facts
bearing on the subject, so that each one
NAV Judge for himself. If the thirty,
seven members OF the State Medical
Examining Board have rendered q salts
factory account of their stewardship
then saw, "Well done" III the law anc
its operation is satisfactory in all Its
pgrts to those interested let it stand. a
little over one third OF the practicine
physicians in the State are members o
the Medical Society OF Virgins. and oul
of the six hundred members the average
attendance will hardly reach one hun
bred and forty at its annual sessions
hence ! have thought to turn on mor'
light. hope the effort will not Prov
uninteresting to your readers.

in any city on the line of the Fort Worth

and one gentleman who l understand is
in Quanah. What l stated yesterday
were the facts in the case as L
learned them in Chicago little
over two weeks ago, before coming
to Texas. You will have to put me
on record with "a prominent railroad
man. for am well convinced that he is
correct" Mr.. Rector was asked in re-
gard to the probable eX ension of the
road from Fort Worth, ana said in reply
that it was his distinct understanding
that the road to Fort Worth would make
this city it's terminus, at least for some
time "Why," said he, "the Rock Island
obtains at Fort Worth all the connections
the Fort Worth and Denver
enjoys, and needs no others
To build more miles of road would
simply be to enter a territory fully
occupied. l am sorry that what that
railroad man and 1 have said about the
road does not please every one, but
have stated what l know to be facts. "
Mr.. Rector leaves this morning for San
Diego, and has letters from several gen
tlemen of national prominence to our old
Congressman, Hon. DIN WellbOrn, whom
he will call on while in California. He
places the date of his return to Fort
Worth at Nav is.

Attempt to Burn a Pest House.

Special TO the GaZette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, April An in
cendiary attempt was made early this
morning to burn down the city pest
house, located about one mile and a
half west of the city. Jesus Garcia
and his wife occupied one room and they
were aroused by denCe smoke in the
room. A search of the house was made,
and the origin of the smoke was located
in the store-room, where fire was
found to be burning near q
window among some blankets, bedding
and dry-goods boxes that where filled
with clothing. A few buckets of water
extibguished the flames, and an officer
was Immediately summoned from the
police station. Search being made by
him, he traced some buggy tracks
from the brush west OF the
house to the window nearest where the
fire was placed, and then the tracks were
followed until lest in the brush. 1t is
supposed some of the neighbors did the
work to get rid of the Objectionable
institution, which has decreased the value
OF property Whereabouts.

WICHITA FALLS.

TALK ABOUT THE CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND
AND PACIFIC-OTHER ROADS.
Special to the Gazette.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, April All the
talk on our streets now is about the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, to
which right of way through the Nation
was granted by Congress just before ad-
iournment. Everything indicates that
that powerful syndicate will push its line
down through the Territory TO tap the
Texas trade as fast as money and men
can build it, PROBABLY working from both
sides of the Territory. 1t seems tOlerably
certain that one branch Of the rosd will
be built through this town, and our peo-
pie are wonderfully encouraged at the
prospect. The line will $50 the charter
reads come into the Nation near Cald-
well, Kan, proceed to Fort Reno, and
thence in a southweSterly direction, enter
Texas and run in the direction
of Cisco, which is named as
the objective point. This line will
pass right through our town, coming up
the broad valley of Big Wichita, which is
reslly the only feasible entrance anywhere
in these parts, and the prettiest route
that an engineer ever ran level over.
Maps, profles and estimates have already
been made carefully and laid before the
